I see too many peaks in the spectrum for my compound - WKB544
Article number: 544
SYMPTOMS
- Only one signal (m/z 1609.6) expected in the mass spectrum
- Observe m/z 1609.6, 1610.6, and 1611.5 in the spectrum
- Relative abundance of the m/z signals are 90, 100, and 60 percent, respectively
ENVIRONMENT
- Xevo TQ-S
- Mass spectrometry
CAUSE
Elemental isotopes and their relative abundance contribute to a distribution of signals from ionized compounds.
FIX or WORKAROUND
N/A (normal behavior)
